Floral Cropped Bodice Top

Bodice Top – BurdaStyle 04/2013 #115

I sewed this top over only 4 days. Stoked. The fabric is from the 70s, its smooth and slinky, and also frays super easy. Once again I had exactly enough of a remnant found in my vintage stash to make this top. The fit is good, its just my abdomen that is usually the culprit, as it is my problem area lol. I also suspect the hook and eye tape, which I’ve put down the front, isn’t actually technically supposed to be visible when sewing it on to garments. I broke a needle going over the hook and eyes because I didn’t manually turn the needle uptake knob. It looks kind of continental, and as it is cropped, a high waist skirt or pants would match well I would think. You can posh it up, or keep it casual, whatever your mood takes. Pics were taken at my auntie’s house lol.

Thanks so much lovelies…
Am pleasantly surprised its so well received… but the shape/pattern IS terrific, isn’t it? and not to mention the fabric – my friends’ mum has good taste, doesn’t she? …gave me her vintage remnants.
